2. Does human instinct always predominate?

Let’s assume for one second that this scenario is possible and disregard reality. This is a fictitious scenario but I am still interested what people think about the possible outcome.

Two newborn, a boy and a girl, are left on a deserted island with absolutely no one taking care of them, talking to them, feeding them or educating them. In this fictitious scenario, they are able to find food, shelter, water and sleep, the 4 basic necessity for every human being.

Assuming again that those children have now reached puberty, are healthy, have no physical challenge except for the lack of parental love and affection. How would they develop?

Would their basic instinct take over, even though nobody ever told them, showed them or educated them?

Could they find love for each other? Would they know how to procreate since they have never had access to any visuals or sounds made by others?

I'm pretty certain they would work out what to do without too much trouble. They might not know how to do it without instruction (nobody does until they're told, do they?), but their arousal and natural fascination with each other's bodily-parts would soon lead them to the answer.

Having said that, I've known plenty of women to complain that various male partners had no idea what they were doing, so maybe it's not quite as obvious as I'm suggesting!

@SeekingConnection this may be partially true if both children are unrelated but assuming they are siblings, the natural repulsion among siblings for each other may prevent them from actually become intimate with each other.

@Stephie Ah, I see your point. I have to say I'm not sure that them being siblings would prevent them from doing it though. For one thing, if they arrived there as newborns, how would they know they were siblings?

@SeekingConnection they might not know it but the information is stored in their DNA

I agree! I have only one sibling left and she was my enemy growing up. Although I covered for her sneaking out and took bribes. I was my deceased sisters baby but always thought any intimacy would be gross. But that was in the old days when I was thinking of sex. Good old yester year. Well at least 420 is legal and has replaced all intimacy@Stephie
